  1. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    Hi! I just got my hedgehog Mojito a few days ago, he's about a year old and was rehomed. The guy said that he's pretty chill but nervous around new people, which, yeah, I completely expect. However, picking him up. He's always in his lil house when I'm over there, and I really don't want to...

    Hi all! This is my hedgehog baby, Harry. This is my first time owning a hedgehog and my very first time owning a pet. I got him 4 months ago from a pet store. The store clerk told me he was 1 month old but when I took him to the vet they said he was closer to 1 year. I'm having trouble bonding...

    Hi I just recently got Chestnut about 3 days ago he’s about 5 months old. I have been looking at forums, google, and watching youtube on how to bond with hedgehog but I’m still having a hard time. Every time I tried to hand pick him up he does the huffing, puffing, and balls up and I don’t want...

    I have 2 hedgehogs who are biologically brother & sister (on separate enclosures ofc), I’ve had them for 7months now and with my male one, Kiwi, we don’t have any issues with bonding aside from usual huffing when picking him up from his bin but when I have him in my arms he just sleeps so I get...

    Hi, I have an adorable 3 month old hedgehog, Komaki, who I've had for about 5 weeks now. The first 2-3 weeks were great. She was super sweet and loved cuddling and being held. But ever since she started quilling a couple weeks ago she refuses to be held and has gotten very huffy and nippy. She...

    Hello! I am a new hedgie Mamma to a little 7 week old male that my boyfriend & I named Hank. our breeder told us that when we got home to take him out and try to bond right away.. well this resulted in him biting us. He then anointed. We gave him space in his new home and took him out way...

    Whoops. Warning: lots of poop talk ahead. Our routine: I wake her up by taking her hide off her, and then leave her alone for a bit to wake up. She'll generally eat some kibble, but after about five minutes will start trying to burrow to go back to sleep. At that point, I pick her up and give...

    Hello! I am a brand new hedgehog owner, my little one's name is Henry and he is 4 months old and he seems to be getting more and more aggressive with each day that passes. I've owned him for a full month now and in the beginning when I first brought him home he seemed like a sweet little boy...

    My fiance and I brought our new little boy home. I have done quite a bit of research - and am now thoroughly confused with all the conflicting information. He is two months old and I read that I am supposed to let him sleep in his cage all day until he's at least 6 months old (because to wake...
  12. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    I first need to say that I have two awesome children and two cool dogs, and generally think I'm moderately okay at keeping those I'm in charge of well cared for, healthy and happy. That said, our hedgehog got the best of me and I may have failed thus far in socializing her properly, but I am...
  13. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    I recently got a baby hedgehog and he started off so friendly. Though he was nervous at first he very quickly warmed up to me and was wonderful about running all over my arms and hands, or cuddling when I was just doing something else or watching tv. Recently he has become increasingly grumpy...

    Hey all. This is my first time with a baby hedge. I've had two adults before, but never a baby and I know they're a bit different. I've had her a month (she's 12 weeks on Friday), but her behaviour has changed. When I got her, she was quite friendly and would come out and play with minimum...

    Hi, :) I know hedgies are nocturnal, but what time do they typically wake up? I do not have my hedgehog yet, I'll be picking him up next week so I'm trying to adjust my schedule in order to get the most bonding time with him as possible. Some say as soon as the sun goes down, which would be...

    Hello everyone, I'm a first-time hedgehog owner looking for some advice on my four-month-old hedgehog I bought from a pet store about two-and-half weeks ago. The first week I had him he kept biting me (once he even broke skin), but I'm working with him. I hold him every evening, I made a...

    I adopted my precious little hedgie last Saturday. Her name is Princess Quillia. I already love her to death! But I had some questions on ways to maybe get her to be a little more social around me, my fiance and my cat. She seems to be more comfortable around me (understandable since I'm her...
